Thai Style Turkey Burgers with Asian Slaw

Personally I don't generally like a turkey burger, but the Thai flavors in this one really give it personality. I find the flavors fresh and pungent all at the same time and the addition of curry paste makes it sing! You could put this on a bun and top it with the slaw and maybe some avocado, but I didn't feel like bread when I made this. I don't think you'll be disappointed!

Ingredients

2 lbs ground turkey thigh meat

4 scallions, thinly sliced

2 minced shallots

4 cloves minced garlic

1 tbsp red curry paste

½ tsp sea salt

2 tbsp Thai basil

2 carrots, washed and grated

4 scallions, thinly sliced

¼ head shredded red cabbage

1 red pepper, thinly sliced

2-3 tbsp chopped mint

3 tbsp chopped Thai basil

1 tsp minced garlic

1 tsp grated ginger

¼ tsp chile garlic paste

1 tsp raw honey

¼ cup fresh lemon juice

¼ cup Tamari

2 tsp sesame oil

1 tbsp black sesame seeds

Instructions

For the burgers, combine all of the prepared ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mix with your hands until everything is evenly distributed.

Cook a small bit in a skillet and taste for seasoning. Adjust if necessary.

Form into 6-8 patties and set aside.

Now prepare the slaw. Prep all ingredients and place in a large mixing bowl.

Toss to combine and allow to rest while you cook the burgers.

Allow your grill to heat up and clean it well with a wire brush.

Lower heat to medium and place the patties on the grill. You want to cook them for about 10-12 minutes, turning only once. The internal temperature should be 165 degrees. If you overcook these guys, they will be dry, so invest in a meat thermometer.

Allow your patties to rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow moisture to redistribute for a better burger!

Serve with the Asian Slaw.
